Colossians 3:12 (NIV)
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly
loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience.
Modern writers depict the pessimism of our time and many of
them throw up their hands in despair and say, “There is no answer to man’s
dilemma.” Hemingway once said, “I live in a vacuum that is as lonely as a radio
tube when the batteries are dead, and there is no current to plug into.” Eugene
O’Neill in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” typifies the philosophical attitude
of our day. He says, “Life’s only meaning is death.” I say to Hemingway and to
O’Neill, who have already gone on, “There is more to life than death.” There is
more to life than a radio tube that needs a place to plug into. Jesus taught us
the dignity and importance of being a person. God put us on this earth for a
purpose, and our purpose is fellowship with God and to glorify God.
Thought for today:
Do I know and walk in my purpose?
